Ousmane Dabo (born February 8, 1977 in Laval, Mayenne) is a French football midfielder. After interest from a variety of premiership clubs in 2006 Dabo signed for Manchester City.[1] He told the club's official website that:
| “ | I'm very happy because I had many offers from other clubs, but I chose Manchester City because it's a very big club with a big history. I played against City in a friendly here two years ago for Lazio, and when I saw how the fans were here, I was in love!. He also said that he really enjoyed being here then, and I was excited when the Club contacted me. I thought the stadium was beautiful as well. | ” |
Commenting on manager Stuart Pearce he said:
| “ | He was a famous player and I know a lot about him, but I spoke with him and I could tell that he wanted me to come here. He has seen me play and it was important for me to know that he was interested in me. Now I know that I have to prove my value to the team. | ” |
His younger brother, Moussa, plays for Oldham Athletic and is also a midfielder.
